I don't hold out much hope that this problem will ever be solved. To be honest, I'd almost forgotten about other users, thinking that it might be just a "quirk" of my machine.
I'm now running LinuxMint 9, with the same overheating problems. And I've had the same experience with LinuxMint Debian Edition (I dropped that o/s because of update issues, but am contemplating trying it again as apparently their updates now work ok). It would be nice to find a cure, but, in the meantime, I hope my workaround is of assistance to others. On 7 December 2011 17:12, Phil.
